The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program, such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

I just got my camera connected to my computer with the usb.
Somehow it won't 'read' my photo's while last week there was no problem.
If I connect the camera with the cable it seems like there's happening something but my comp just fails to read my data??
Besides there are two lights next to the lens, the upper should blink while reading the camera but somehow it doesn't.
Am I doing something wrong??
Type of camera is Canon Powershot A590IS

I want to replace the memory chip in my Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS camera with a larger one but leave the photos taken on the original memory card on the camera. I used my computer to first read the photos off the original chip, then to write them back to the larger chip. When I put the larger chip in the camera, it shows no images. When I read the chip with a card reader, I do see the images. I want to be able to see those images on the camera (so I can use it as a viewer to share my photos

Compatability? Hi, My new Sony DSC-W80 camera is not recognized by my computer (running Mac OX10.3.9). The camera and cable are fine, since my PC has no problems.

When I connect my camera to my computer, I hook it up using an USB cable. This links the camera to the computer. But when I ask the computer to download the pictures, it says "camera in use please try again later". But the camere is not in use the screen just reads "USB". And I have to turn the camera on to get the computer to realize its there.

Canon 30D My camera sometimes reads "busy" when I am trying to transfer photos from it to my computer. I am not aware of doing anything different when it works and when it reads "busy" and won't transfer anything. I am using the proper cable, trying to follow directions, camera is "on" and cable is properly connected.

This is not a direct solution, but I find that my image transfers are much faster when I pull out the CompactFlash card and put it in a card reader to pull the imagery off.With respect to the actual problem, try "rebooting" your camera (s ...

Date/Time stamp shows on pics fine but when I connect to pc with usb they all default to 1/1/2000. When I connect the usb cable into my camera the screen display reads "setup date/time usb connected" but at this point the setup buttons are frozen in both set up mode and playback mode. I want the pictures to transfer to the pc with the valid date that they were transferred on. Each time that I clear the internal memory or the memory card the camera starts naming the new pics with the same name as

I have had my camera for 18 months and have been able to transfer images to my computer all that time until this morning. I connected the camera to the computer and found that the computer no longer detects the camera. I cant figure out why. The computer detects the cable used to connect the camera but doesn't detect the camera when the cable is detected.

I have a Canon HF M30 we bought in Dec 2010 and my husband attempted to plug in the cable into the USB port of the camera and discovered it would not 'connect' to the computer. In other words it wasn't recognizing it (we've used it many times before w/no issue) so he unplugged from camera and looked inside USB port on Camera and there was a plastic piece that was broken and just hanging in there. We sent to Canon since it was still under 1 yr warranty and they want to charge us $282 to repair it

This is a manufacturing defect for sure. Contact Canon support again and demand they fix it under the warranty. Explain you are prepared to contact the Better Business Bureau, the Attorney General, and begin posting videos on YouTube describing the p ...
